GNOME Hispano

GNOME Hispano is a community association for Spanish-speaking people who share a common language and wish to combine efforts in the promotion of and participation in GNOME, the free software desktop environment. It emerged in 2000 with the creation of a GNOME section in Barrapunto, a Spanish-language free software and technology news site. That section aimed to report news related to the GNOME graphical environment. Over time, the group decided to create its own website to gather documentation, projects, news and other material related to the activity of the growing number of people involved. In 2001, GNOME Hispano collaborated in organizing the third edition of GUADEC, the annual conference for GNOME developers and users, held in Seville, Spain. In 2004, the first GUADEC Hispana was held in Almendralejo, Spain. The second GUADEC Hispana took place in A Coruña from 19 to 21 May 2005, organized by the University of A Coruña. The third GUADEC Hispana was held in Vilanova i la Geltrú from 24 to 30 June 2006, organized directly by the Asociación Nacional GNOME Hispano. The association also coordinated the joint holding of the fifth edition of GUADEC alongside the GUADEC Hispana. At the ordinary members' assembly on 25 June 2006, a new board of GNOME Hispano was elected for a three-year period. The organization operates as a non-profit, volunteer-driven association rather than a commercial vendor. Its activities center on community building, documentation, translation and localization support, event organization, and the promotion of GNOME among Spanish speakers. It maintains a website and a community news aggregator known as Planeta GNOME Hispano, and it has been associated with the GUADEC Hispana conference series. Its scope is linguistic and cultural rather than territorial, bringing together contributors from Spain and other Spanish-speaking regions.
